Coffee Barista for a Day

Fantastic class! If you are remotely interested in coffee, it is totally worth it! 10/10 would recommend.

A group of friends & I went to Kickbutt Coffee's Barista for a Day course last weekend and had such a blast! As my friend found the course and set it up, I wasn't too sure what to expect other than... well maybe making some coffee :) I have to say, the course was not only informative, but a lot of fun! Our instructor was Naimin, who just rocked in every way shape and form. I have never met someone so well versed on coffee and found the history provided to us at the beginning of class really interesting as well as a good start to the day itself. Naimin really wanted to make sure we got things out of the course that we had intended to leave with. He made sure to answer questions at the beginning, middle, and end. I have to also mention, that we were really in the space of the baristas on shift that day and was really impressed on how accommodating they were with sharing the space while still taking care of customers. I could only imagine it was pretty limiting for us to be in their space, but they were polite and professional nonetheless. Great day and tons of fun. I'd recommend this to friends as it was a fun activity to do with our group and could imagine pretty easy to do with strangers as well if your friends aren't as fun as mine ;)

I really enjoyed this class! I really enjoyed the knowledge the instructor had on coffee and their hands-on approach. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in coffee to learn more about the craft and how to make a good drink!

My son's took me to Barista for a Day at Kick Butt coffee. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was awesome. We spent the first half learning about the history of coffee, but not just where the first beans and coffee came from but all the way through to understanding the tremendous variety we have today and why it matters. Then we talked about the history of espresso and the machines used to make it. I was amazed at just how sophisticated it all is now and how much of that has happened in the last ten to twenty years. Then we made espresso drinks with their amazing equipment. Still, it is not as easy as you would think. I learned so much. But, unless I am serious about practicing precision, I am just going to let my favorite barista serve my coffee thirst!
